Product Information

The Studio Legends Collection is a premier suite of five plugins that bring the "Full Analog Experience" of Heritage Audio’s world-class hardware directly into your DAW. This collection isn't just a set of generic emulations; it is a meticulously modeled archive of Heritage’s own proprietary circuits and private vintage collections. From the iconic transformer-balanced warmth of the 73-style preamp to the unique diode-bridge compression of the Successor, these tools are designed to provide the "extra mojo" that turns a digital recording into a professional production.

1. 73 JR PREAMP: The Foundation of Tone

The 73 JR is Heritage Audio’s love letter to the most famous preamp in recording history.

  • Transformer Modeling: Meticulously captures the sound of custom Carnhill Oxford and St. Ives transformers, which provide the weight and impact essential to the "73 sound."

  • Discrete Class A High-Pass Filter: Tighten your low end without thinning out the rest of the frequency spectrum.

  • Parallel Processing: Features a unique Blend knob, allowing you to push the gain to the limit for grit and saturation while blending it back with the original signal for perfect gain staging.

2. LANG PEQ-2: The Forgotten Legend

After reviving the hardware unit in 2022, Heritage Audio has created the only plugin that truly captures the unique curves of this rare program EQ.

  • Musical Curve Interaction: Unlike standard EQs, the LANG allows for simultaneous boost and cut at the same frequency, creating a resonant "shelf" that provides massive punch or silky air.

  • The "Alternative" to Pultec: Offers a different tonal flavor that many engineers find more surgical yet just as musical as classic tube-based EQs.

3. SUCCESSOR: The Stereo Bus Glue

The Successor hardware has become a modern classic for its ability to "glue" a mix together.

  • Diode-Bridge Compression: Captures the unique energy and "vitality" of diode-bridge circuits, offering more character and "vibe" than traditional VCA bus compressors.

  • Mastering Precision: Ideal for the master fader, providing a sense of cohesion and transient control that makes a mix sound "finished."

4. HA240 GOLD FOIL VERB: The Dark Space

Modeled from an extremely rare unit in Heritage’s private collection, this is not your typical "bright" plate reverb.

  • One-of-a-Kind Vibe: Delivers a distinct, dark, and enticing space that adds mystery and depth to any source.

  • Versatility: Specifically tuned to enhance vocals, guitars, strings, and synths, providing a hauntingly beautiful decay that stays out of the way of the main signal.

5. TAPEoPLEX: The Ultimate Echo Machine

A faithful recreation of the most unique tape echo unit ever made, famously used by rock legends like Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page.

  • Sonic Range: Capable of everything from soft, warm, clean delays to distorted, aggressive repeats.

  • Self-Oscillation: Nails the behavior of original tape units when pushed into feedback, allowing for creative, psychedelic sound design and unmatched spatial depth.

Pro-Tip for MyPluginWorld Users

For a "radio-ready" drum sound, place the Successor on your drum bus and the LANG PEQ-2 right after it. Use the Successor for about 2-3dB of gain reduction to glue the kit, then use the LANG PEQ-2 to boost the 10kHz shelf. The combination of the Successor’s diode-bridge weight and the LANG’s unique "air" will make your drums sound like they were tracked through a multi-million dollar vintage console!
